This talk is for anybody with an open mind, whether you are a game player, journalist, budding new game developer or a jaded and grizzled old industry veteran.

This talk is about the fallacies of current game creation philosophies in both Japan and the West. Attendees will gain valuable insight into Ryan’s personal experiences of working on AAA titles in both Japan and America, as well as a strong argument about how we all need to change our approach to creative interactive endeavors, less we wither away into global irrelevancy.
